my rule is that I do nothing while losing that I am unwilling to
continuing
while on maintenance. this means I have tried some things and discarded
them, also means I lose slower than I could but I know the changes I have
made I can keep to. Examples, I tried to quit my bedtime snack, woke up
with my hands in the refrigerator, never had done that before, bedtime
snack
is back, Lee

I guess the question I'm really getting at , and I need to come to grips
with it as well, is, do you feel like you can do this for the rest of
your
life? It's an awakening thought, but I think we all need to come to
that
realization if we truly want to be healthy for the rest of our lives.

It scares the hell out of me, but coming to grips with it is helping to
keep
me motivated, just like when I quit smoking 3 years ago.

Any thoughts?......

Another good week for you Doug!.........Good for you!

Question: Is it getting easier ?

Good question. I suppose the answer is "yes" in that I feel very much
"in
a
routine" and don't feel tempted to go off my diet.

If I'm hungry and get the munchies I just make sure to eat low-calorie
snacks I keep around or can run down to the convenience store to buy.

This was a fairly typical week in most respects. I don't have any new
major
milestones to report, but as you can see in my stats, below, I'm
getting
agonizingly close to a few!

My average daily calories came to 1619 calories/day, about 120
calories/day
more than last week. Since I lost 1.3 lb this week this means my CPP
(calories per pound per day needed to maintain weight) was 11.4, which
is
a
bit higher than my average CPP.

My "rolling 4 week average" decreased slightly to 1.3 lb/week.

You can see my latest weight loss graph at
http://lerner.net/diet/weight20060428.jpg

The latest stats:

* Week 47 / Day 329
* This week's loss: 0.6 kg = 1.3 lb
* Weight (kg): 125.0 - 91.0 (minus 34.0 kg)
* Weight (lb): 275.0 - 200.2 (minus 74.8 lb)
* BMI: 41.3 - 30.1
* Percent body mass lost: 27.2%
* Percent complete to goal: 74%

Doug,
If you have a text file of your daily or weekly results (weight, calories,
maybe exercise mins or miles walked or not)
I would like to run it thru my program, see my topic (no-one responded yet)
"program to calc maintenance calories"
Thanks, Dave in Fla..

I don't record my exercise calories separately in my spreadsheet, just my
"net" calories.

I can send you that spreadsheet if you like though. Please send me email
separately.
